American Doctor documentary screenings and festival circuit

Overview

The documentary ‘American Doctor’, directed by Poh Si Teng, has been featured in various film screenings and festivals. The film follows three physicians—Dr. Mark Perlmutter, Dr. Thaer Ahmad, and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa—as they volunteer at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.

Initially scheduled for screening in British Columbia, Canada, the film depicts the medical realities and personal risks faced by doctors in conflict zones. It explores the intersection of humanitarian neutrality and political pressure, including the doctors' subsequent testimony before the United States Congress. The documentary has since been added to the Piano section of the Morelia International Film Festival in Mexico.
